Wireless toad lights

[C20]

Anyone have the wireless toad lights? I bought a new toad and they can't wire into the wiring harness without causing a lamp out light on the dash. So I bought the LED magnetic lights, and ran a wire under the toad to plug into the coach. This means I have to plug in two different plugs to get the lights to work, one into the coach and one at the rear of the toad to make the magnetic lights work.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with the wireless ones, and if that might me easier.

Thanks all!

I would say there is definitely faulty wiring somewhere - however if budget permits... Wireless lights are great.

I considered the wireless lights, but as you can see from the link somebody already posted, they aren't cheap. The ones in the above link are $395. Many of them seemed to have a long enough battery life for towing, but if you forgot to charge them you may find yourself without working lights.

"C20".....I agree, I think you're being given some bad info. When you add a diode, it just sends power to the taillight from another power source. It can't feedback to the truck and shouldn't affect the truck wiring.

Another option, you can also add a bulb to the taillight lens if there is room. This way, the bulb is powered directly from your coach and still uses one plug at the front of the truck.

Thanks, i'll check that out. On all the other toads I had just put a plug at the front and plugged it into the RV and good to go. This seems to be a PITA! lol. I have to call them anyway about an issue I'm having with my braking system, so Monday i'm on it! Appreciate it

I would call Roadmaster and check with their engineer.
Installing the diodes at the tailights should not effect the lamp outage system. It has not effected any of my vehicles.

The 2016 Dodge Eco Diesel. If you cut into the wiring harness the trailer place said you will ge a light out code, but they will work.

Odd that you cannot hardwire the lights.
Which vehicle are you trying to install the lights?
